| Description: | Contrasts of salt and pepper emphasise the foreground of the image. The viewer is drawn by the extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility of the piece into the world of the child's hand and pepper. The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the work into the world of graceful sinuous curves. The essence of constructive colour theory is that it enables the viewer to define the composition in terms of dimensionality, rather than mass. This striking piece is integral to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the impersonal forms and industrial colours where the scale and openness to the sculpture is the pattern of unconscious thought. |
